Chapter 1267: Jian Yiling is Sad? What Nonsense!

In the past two months, the Qin family united with several powers in Beijing to carry out drastic activities against the Zhai family business. By doing so, in less than one week, businesses under the name of the Zhai family ended up facing all kinds of problems and crises. The Zhai family’s once-formidable business empire was crumbling to the ground.

A large number of these businesses were eventually acquired by the Qin family.

[Oh my goodness, the Zhai family collapsed just like that. But didn’t Jian Yiling just marry Zhai Yunsheng?]

[Yeah she did… Now that I think of it, the Zhai family was probably in disarray before she married Zhai Yunsheng.]

[The Zhai family is quite lucky that Zhai Yunsheng married Jian Yiling then…]

[Ahh, I feel bad for Jian Yiling. She was going to be the matriarch of the Zhai family and yet, almost overnight, she became an ordinary civilian again.]

[You don’t need to feel bad for Jian Yiling. Even if she isn’t the matriarch of the Zhai family, she’s still Lahaisen Hospital’s Dean. With that identity alone, who would she be scared of?]

[But she was still lied to by her husband and in-laws no?]

[I mean they probably didn’t lie to her. After all, no one expected this to happen.]

[...]

The netizens on the Internet had various speculations on Jian Yiling’s situation.

They imagined countless scenarios where Jian Yiling was extraordinarily sad.

Yu Xi read through the comments on the Internet before he looked at the girl seated in front of him. She was quietly reading a book and drinking tea.

He wanted to reply “What nonsense!” to all the netizens on the Internet.

Unlike what they imagined, Jian Yiling was not sad nor upset. Instead, she was very leisurely drinking afternoon tea.

Yu Xi rushed over to the Zhai Residence because he was worried about Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.

However, the only person he saw was Jian Yiling and she was just casually drinking tea as though the world wasn’t burning around her.

He did not see Zhai Yunsheng.

And thus, Yu Xi anxiously asked Jian Yiling: “God Ling… Are you not… Worried?”

Even though Yu Xi was not directly involved, he was still super anxious. After all, such a big incident happened to the Zhai family.

Despite the Harmony League still existing, this didn’t mean that the Loyalty Alliance that existed for hundreds of years needed to crumble! They didn’t need to surrender the Loyalty Alliance to someone else!

“Nope,” Jian Yiling calmly replied as she gazed at the book in front of her. She was acting way too calm.

“God Ling, I know you don’t mind living a hard life with Master Sheng. However, why are we handing over the Loyalty Alliance which existed for hundreds of years to that ungrateful man?! Just thinking about Qin Chuan makes me angry!”

Yu Xi knew that Jian Yiling helped Qin Chuan in times of need.

And yet now, Qin Chuan turned his back on them. He even dared to use the reason that he liked God LIng to justify his actions.

“God Ling, the Zhai Residence is going to be taken away by the bank in a bit. Are we just going to let this happen?” Yu Xi asked as he looked around him. This was the Zhai Residence. This meant more than just money to the Zhai family.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. Her expression remained the same.

After she said this, there was a knock on the door.

It was the people from the bank.

As the Zhai family business went bankrupt, they were here to liquidate the assets under the Zhai family’s name.

“Dean Jian, we apologize for doing this.”

Before coming over, the bank manager did research into the Zhai family. He knew about Jian Yiling’s identity.

Even though the Zhai family had fallen, Jian Yiling was still the Dean of Lahaisen Hospital. She would not be affected.

Jian Yiling did not make things difficult for the bank manager. She walked over to the side and watched them as they moved items out of the Zhai Residence.

The servants of the Zhai family had been all dismissed and Master Zhai already moved in with the Jian family.

Jian Yiling watched as all the artifacts and possessions that were originally owned by the Zhai family got moved out of the residence, one by one.
